Silage Feeder - Straw Blower : General Information

Forage wagons are used to shredder grass and crop that were pressed to silage or straw bales, they are mounted on a self-propelled vehicle such as a tractor that fills them at the same time. Bales are placed in the shredder and cut into small shreds in an even flow. The shredded material is blown out by a spout. This spout can point to several directions. So you can chose whether you want to conduct it in the barn, fill it into a container or simply leave it in the forage wagon. Often, the shredded material is used directly to feed livestock. Straw shredders also spread straw on the floor for bedding and can be adapted to do several things by adding the appropriate kit.
